Game changing leadership programme,
Global bank
The Challenge
Understanding the implications of change within your industry is important, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg. For large organisations turning observation into an effective response is always the hardest part. Our client, a leading global bank, found themselves confronted by the disruptive threat of fin tech and the increasing influence of big tech players in banking. They needed their leaders to take a step back from the day-to-day requirements of the business and respond to the bigger picture. They needed this leadership team to be equipped with the skills and the vision necessary to respond to the digitisation of banking services, and to manage effective organisational change.
The Solution
Deep diving into the business, we emerged with a clear view of the specific legacy issues hindering change within the bank. To counter these issues, we identified six critical transitions that would give the leadership team a shared ambition and a common language about the intended future direction. At the client’s request, we then developed a multi-supplier programme involving workshops, webinars and peer coaching sessions. Involving trusted partners in the process brought the bank’s leadership team into close contact with people and ideas from outside the organisation. Workshops and webinars were used to introduce fresh skills and knowledge whilst peer to peer coaching sessions helped to apply that learning to real work environments. A psychometric instrument was used throughout the process to help each individual leader create their own personal roadmap to change.
